We are a British couple and we spent many years living and working in sunnier climes so decided to buy a holiday villa in Spain to compensate for the lack of sunshine in UK. We visited many locations in Spain during our search but Nerja was our firm favourite. Our children were teenagers at the time and we loved the fact that Nerja was safe for them to explore, they could practice their Spanish, attend the local discoes safely and make Spanish friends. Our young grandchildren now holiday at the villa and enjoy it equally as much. Nerja is very family friendly and while the town centre is very vibrant by contrast it's good to enjoy the tranquillity of the villa, best of both worlds!
